John Campbell, the Minister of this chapel, w hich ap peared in our paper of the 20th ult., we understand that the proceedings were not only caparic, but had reference to a circumstance which was comparatively unimportant with regard to the question at issue between the parties : that could not come under discussion before the Magistrates at Marylebone-office. We learn, however, that with re spect to what was actually stated on the occasion, several important particulars are either incorrectly stated or wholly omitted, and more especially the allegation that he had only lcted in the proper discharge of his spiritual duty, accord ing to the order and discipline of a Dissenting Church, which requires that the unqualified approbation of the Minist er must be obtained before an y one cou ld e i t h e r be allow e d t o a d m i n i ster or receive the sacrament. We do - not wish t o enter i nto t h e mer i ts of the question ; but we under s t an d that it was distinctly stated by Mr. Campbell that th e R ea d er was directed to act at the sacrament in a manner Ivhiel l he deemed a 'contravention of the above dis cipline. The whole affair 'comprises questions which can only be decided by a superior legal tribnnal ; and the Act. of Parliament, the-52d George 111., cap. 155, under which the proceeding s at Marylebbne-office took place, leaves these questions precisely where they were, that Act having been passed for the protection of Ministers and their con gregations, and not for the purpose of settling points Of order between Ministers and Trustees. It gives us great pleasure to add that the Rev. Mr. Campbell still continues to preach to crowded .congregations,—/Worithw Paper,: Wheat. I Barley. Oats. Beans.

It is an important revolution, and it must in time produce the best effects. No men dare to support or bring forward, in open court, before the people themselves, any but measures for their benefit, and for the benefit of the town at large. We may differ a little on minor points, but the whole will unite to work well for the general good.. I should f ee l as h ame d of myself, if I had been an old corpo rator, that the public should have found in the cellar of the Mansion-house, three hundred dozen if wine, purchased at their expens3! But this is only a small item of the enor mous sums of the people's money squandered and consumed for the worst purposes. Adieu to all this ! .We will sell the wine, and turn the money to better account. No more feasting on the public money ; and no boasting, at the same time, that we are the most wealthy and most respectable part of society, as these gentlemen were wont to do. They accuse us of being the scum of society ;" but I shall not, be surprised if, in the course of a year flow this time, they, even they, do not think differently of us." . ALMS —CORRUPTION AT BA Tll.—unarity given through the hands of parish officers is not the usual, nor the proper mode of "distributing private bequests. It may by such means go into the hands of most deserving persons, but it is not very probable. The more . industrious and hard-working labourer, to whom assistance for one or two days might be important, is not the person a parish-officer would be likely to relieve ; and such a person could not receive relief through the hands of a parish-officer without losing his right to parti.!ipate in the Parliamentary and Mu nicipal franchise. For persons truly charitable, for those who do not give in order to publish their gifts, any mode of charity which shall degrade or depress the condition of a poor man is cruel ; to say nothing of the immorality it is sure, under such circumstances, to cause. As humble guardians of the public morals, we condemn the distribution of private subscriptions—rr eagre and small as they may be in amount—through the hands of parish-officers. Attempts are maki ng by other means, and in other ways, avowedly corrupt and illegal, to deprive many electors of their votes, and to induc e them to violate their present integrity of principle. In every form of speech we shall denounce such acts, and all acts that have the colour of them. lf morals shall hereafter be debased among the electors, and this city should by reason of its corruption be deprived oi* its political privileges ; our hands shall be clean ; cad we are sure that the support we receive in preventing such an event—grateful as it would be to th e Tories—will be powerful andhonourable.—Bat4 Guardian, Prisoner—The tools are my own. The officer took three sovereigns from me. I hope your Lordship will order him to give them up to me. The LORD MAYOR—Not a farthing. The prisoner was then remande& He is twenty-four years of age, and formerly worked to Mr. Giscard, and is a watch-maker. The lady is forty years of age, has been married to Mr. Giscard twenty years, and has a son by him nineteen years old. She did not appear to be in the slightest degree discomposed, and walked out of the Justice Room in quite a tragic style. After the ordinary business of the Justice Room was terminated on Tuesday, Mr. Wheeler, one of the stock brokers who were plundered by Lakeman, applied to Al derman Harmer for a warrant for the apprehension of Lake man, who is believed to be now in Paris. Mr. Wheeler repeated the particulars of the transaction which he had with Lakeman on Friday, and produced the check which that person had given to him in payment for the Spanish and Colombian bonds. The check was drawn upon the banking-house of Rogers, Towgood, and Co., and was for_ 6,201/. 17s. 6d, Mr. Wheeler had had dealings with Lake man for about three months, and there never had occurred previously the slightest irregularity. Lakeman had given the check in the middle of the day, and, no doubt, expected that nothing would be known of the state of his banker's book till next morning ; for it turned out upon the exami nation of his wife before the Commissioners of Bankruptcy that he had appointed to meet her at Kennington on Friday night, where he, took leave of her on his way to Dover. Alderman HARMER said that it would be necessary to have the evidence of somebody from the banking•house to prove that Lakeman had no assets there when he drew the check, in order to constitute the false pretence under which I the securities were obtained. Mr. Sharpe, one of the partners of the firm, deposed that Lakeman had kept cash at the house 0f,.; Rogers, Towgood, and Co. Lakeman had on the morning of Friday in the bank 12/., and he drew in the course of the day a Check for 401., which was paid, so that he overdrew 281. This was about two o'clock. When the large draft was presented Lakeman had overdrawn. He sent his livery servant in the course of the day for his box and papers, which he kept at the banking-house: The great stir was of course made the moment it was found that Lakcman had decamped with the plunder. Mrs. Lakeman was called upon, bu she denied that she knew anything about her husbund, and it was after the interview with the plundered party she met Lakeman at Kennington. If she had not kept her appointment the proba- bility is that her husband would have lingered in this country. Mr. Aston, solicitor to Mr. Wheeler, stated that Mr. Rothschild, the moment he heard of the robbery, wrote off to , all his great and extensive connexions on the Conti nent, inclosing the numbers of the bank-notes which had been obtained at the Bank of England 'by Lakeman, and giving other information which was likely to cause a resti tution of a great, part of the property. The portmanteau of Lakeman had been seized, containing, by Lakeman's wife's admission, a great part of the plunder. Lakeman - . . himself, however, was .not detained, bet had, it was be lieved, gone off to Paris from Calais. Alderman ilmtraut signed the warrant, and expressed a hope that, through the instrumentality of the British Ambassador, the French authorities would give up Lzke- man, or at least oblige him to disgorge the whole of the money he had stolen. The Alderman then recommended that Daniel Forrester, by whose advice Lakeman had had been pursued to Dover, shou:'.l be employed to act. Forrester was immediately sent over to Paris. HA T TON- G ARDEN Yesterday Inspector Miller of the N division of police, attended at this Office to consult with Mr. Laing, ouchr the following singular circumstances:— It appeared that on Monday last Edwards and Poole, the drivers of the Emperor and Dart Paddington omni busses, were charged before Mr. LAING with furious driving, and causing the death of Mr. Leo:-..:rd Coleman, of High-street, Camberwell, when they welt: remanded until Thursday (this d a y) in order that the Co.er , s Cot quest might be h e ld, an d f ur th er ev id ence p r oduced. ',The • prisoners were accordingly taken by Waddington, tilt% gaoler, to the New Prison, Clerkenwell,' and delivered into the custody of the Governor, with the commitment, laieh was signed by Mr. Laing'. On Tuesday night, how. cv_!r, th . e Coroner's inquest was held, and the Jury returned a verdict of ." Manslaughter" against John Edwards, the driver of the Emperor, and Mr. Payne called the whole of the witnesses together, and bound each of them over in the sum of 401. to appear on Thursday morning next (this day) at the Old Bailey Sessions, and then and there to give evidence against John Edwards ; and the Coroner is sued his warrant of commitment for trial, and placed it in the hands of the proper officer to execute upon the prisoner. Edwards and Poole, however, could not be delivered up until the term of the Magistrate's commitment had expired —and in this dilemma the officers could not act upon the Coroner's warrant, and it being impossible to prefer a bill of indictment aga'nst Edwards until he was in custody on the commitment, e.ey determined on making application to the Judge, but inspector Miller resolved to apply to Mr. Laing on the subject. Mr. LAING inquired whether the fact of the prisoners having been committed for rc-exatnination on Thursday had been mentioned to the Coroner ? Inspector Miller replied that ho had mentioned that fact to Mr. Payne, the Coroner. Mr. LAING thought the proceeding very strange, and said he had nothing to do with the Coroner's Inquest, and that he was not to be interfered with in his. duty as a Magistrate. He had remanded both prisoners, and it was his province to investigate the 'matter judicially. The Jury had only returned a verdict of manslaughter againSt one of them ; but he might feel himself justified, en further Inquiry, to commit them both to take their trial. Inspector Miller intimated the verdict ofthe Jury, stating that thirteen out of fifteen were unanimous as to a verdict of manslaughter against Edwards, of the Emperor, and that only two were in favour of that verdict against P o ole, the dri ver o f th e D art, but the whole of the Jury were agreed that the con d uct ' o f the l atter was i n human in not stopping w h en ca ll ed to b y the con d uc t or , after the ,evident, and that they passed a vote of censure upon him. The Coroner said that the power of Magistrates was too limited as to the punishment of such felloWs for furiously driving, and placing the lives of the public in jeopardy. They were simply fined, when another was transported for taking a pocket-htmdkercbief.

SEThR,US OBSTRUCTION IN THE RIVEIL—Last night Captain Sn;ith, the superintendent of the Grand Surrey Canal Dock, waited on Mr. BALLANTINE, the sitting Ma gistrate, to complain of a very serious obstruction in the river, which had nearly caused the loss of a very valuable ship and cargo. Coptain *Smith stated that in defiance of the Dock Act, and regulations of the port, two col liers, the Embient and t 1 Star, had made fast to the dock buoy, by which not only ti. - c passage of the river was ob structed, but the business of ,the dock was stopped. That evening at high water the ship _lid-de-Camp, from Halifax, laden with timber and deals, cam(' up the river tb be hauled into the dock, but the two colliers were stationed opposite the entrance, one above and the °the: - below the buoy, and although their C3ptains • were ordered to slack and leave a free passage, they refused to do so. The ship nearly ran ashore, and was prevented entering the ,Mock. A steamer was under the necessity of taking her in tow and taking her to Limehouse, occasioning great loss to tile owners, and placing the ship in very imminent danger. Torgett, a dock officer, confirmed Captain Smith, and said that one of the colliers had been moored to the buoy three days, and Captain Fisher had in vain ordered her away. . BALLANTINE immediately granted summonses. During the morning and afternoon sitting yesterday there was not a single police or night charge brought bcfore the Magistrates, a circumstance quite unprecedented. THE MONUMENT TO Sift WALTER SCOTT.-- The .It'dinburglt Courant thinks there is no place by which a greator honour could be conferred, than raising it on the spot where the ancient Cross of Edinburgh once stood. CORONEIt'S INQUEST.- - Y esterday afternoon, an inquest was heN at the Globe Tavern, Derby-street, Gray's Inn-road, before Mr. Stirling and a respectable ,fury, on view of the body of Mrs. Penelope Bulcock, a married lady, who was burned to death. George Goodhall, police constable, division E. No. 35, about ,eleven o'clock on Monday forenoon, was 03 duty at. King's Cross, Battle bridge, when be was requested by a female, w r a ..k: suffer ing much from excitement, to ;,:o to the residence of Mr. Buleocl:, No. 16, Hamilton-place, New-road: On his ar rival, he found the passage of the ho'tse full of smoke, which appeared to 'come from the front kitcl.4en, and as great tears were expressed by the servants as to ths.4,ir mistress's safety ? he descended the stairs, but was scarce!,;' able to respire, owing to the density of smoke. On eriterili.e.; the kitchen, witness was shocked at discovering a human corm stretched on the floor in nearly a state of nudity, and burn L in the most frightful 'tanner. A small portion efthe unfortunate lady's apparel, which appeared to be her stays, was still burning, as was also some linen, which was attached to 11 clothes :orso lying on the floor. Witness obtained some buckets or va:er, which he threw over the body, and extinguishod • the From the dreadful condition of the body, life. must has been extinct some time. A relative of the de ceased here it,:ted that she had been subject to fits of epilepsy. The tau:-.Y returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."

PORT PATRICK. —The western wall of the har bour of Port Patrick was materially injured by the heavy gale of Sat ur d ay , the ' 7 `3d ult. The sea made a complete breach through it. Fears exist that this harbour, upon which 12.0,0001. has already been expended, and for which a further grant has been obtained of 27,000/. must even tually be abandoned as a packet: station, in which case the packets will run from Loch Ryan to Belfast, or Larne,--- Shipping Gazette.
